It was great spending time in Tarawa for Christmas with all those
missionaries, but now Elder Bataua and I are back in Butaritari
working with our own people. This past week was a little slow just
because we both just returned and are getting back into the swing of
things scheduling lessons and such. It’s also interesting that Elder
Bataua and I have both been working in the field for about only 3
months now, so we’re both at least somewhat fresh.
It’s been fun new experience having a native companion. No longer can
I relate through my American culture. We get along just fine, though.
I’m excited to see how the coming weeks turn out. What’s also cool is
that Elder Bataua is from Butaritari through his father’s side. He’s
been finding a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles, and his goal is to
convert all of his family in Butaritari.
The language is also coming along well. I'm slowly getting better at
understanding people. It'll also help a lot being with a native who
speaks English almost fluently.
Not much else to report on since we’ve just recently gotten back.
I tangiringkami! Thank you!
